I want to walk the earth, meet people and get into adventures.

ABOUT ME

I'm an Alaskan. Running around with my little sister in the woods that surrounded our house was a fun way to grow up.

I am from Anchorage and lived there most of my life. I worked in television news as a professional photojournalist for many years, travelling all over Alaska. Fishing and camping are both activities I enjoy.

~~~~To all who read this. I can't host but I would still love to meet up! I am open to all activities and vibes.~~~~

PHILOSOPHY

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.

FREE SPEECH FOREVER

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Catching some tasty waves and trying to lead a liquid life. I've hosted and been hosted. Rad.

SAFETY FIRST~ Trust your instincts. Protect yourself. There are ALWAYS alternative places to stay. Leave the surf immediately if you feel unsafe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

I've been places and seen faces. I like to talk and have a few stories to tell.
